Governments make a loss = taxpayer deficit = profit for ?
Governments make a profit = shells,…what shells!
(Shell company = hidden monies) : )
(Hidden monies = secret accounts)
Capital controls = We want to know where all your (our money) is,.AT ALL TIMES YOU WORMS !
In other words,..if Browns bottom was a loss,..well go figure !

At least I didn’t got to hear how bad humans are and there are too many or that the world is going to end because we will all drown…This rigged market corporatism is a consequence of free market capitalism, so don’t constantly blame ‘greed’/'corruption’ etc. those are all symptoms and no i don’t support communism or bloody dictators… Anyways, No TAMNZ today or because the new keiser report has just been put up saving that for later?
@AM,…..For your edification !

Wall Street is driving up oil prices
…”The recent rise in prices seems to be driven by Wall Street investors — not market supply and demand.”
@Dedo Ok, I understand that the markets never have been free at least not for the last thousand years still what lawyer talk because the whole concept is already outdated: it doesn’t fit with the current age: http://twitter.com/AMphilosopher Free market allows slavery still has no consent for environment, people or anything but their bottom-line and shareholders. I don’t believe, I study and learn by scientific methods… The free market described in that video would be a very small step forward, yet again; This system didn’t fall from the sky, the politicians/investment bankers didn’t craw from hellpits; Everything you see today is a consequence of the past, and there has been many experiments with ‘free’ currencies mostly the first days of economics and with central banking which made it even worse as seen today: more important do you know psychological effects of putting a price on everything/everything based on money… due to this I’m still doubting to pick a religion; judaism, christianity, islam, voodoo, scientology, catholicism, etc. or this new free market capitalism too bad I got this ‘problem’ called rational thinking
Brown should get a good kick in the bottom. Like most British electors. Bankster land. You desserve that jerk.
speaking of gold and silver futures
seems that over the past two days the short squeeze on silver is getting serious
Dedo… that stefbot guy talks about free markets without force but about property rights in the same breath ‘protected’ by government (but doesn’t want to get into a debate about it). Sorry but being a landless peasant I am not convinced about half of these property rights to believe the free market can ever be some kind of level playing field. I am starting to think other people’s savings are part a claim to some of my labour and the whole interest rate thingy is all so acceptable to the other landless peasants who think their middle class status has provided them with the chance to obtain ‘savings’ (because they worked hard? Yet it we forget the myth of a profligate working class; don’t we all work hard?)
@AM,..I know what you mean,.I’ve also studied various systems, that would work,..other than the monetary system.
But as you’re quite aware, until the PTB decide to re-educate the whole of society, in the direction of holistic benefit (fat chance!),..
Then all we can hope for is a good fkin’ fight! : )
@kitty,..It’s not just about working hard,..also smart!
There are segments in society (at present) who aren’t interested in the complex issues of running a business,.so they become employees (through) choice.
In a free market, things will always level out (bit like water),..think about it : )
@Kitty,.I think he has a vid’ explaining property rights,.have a gander.
Remember, it’s never about being right or wrong,..
only about what will work through empirical evidence, in any one moment,..go figure
BTW: What works in todays world, without question, for the PTB, is force,.
So why change it ! : )
Nope. The carbon market, the carbon will not be a maket but a racket like the gold, the silver and CDS sector. A RACKET. A rigged racket.

Swamy had alleged that Jayalalitha’s assets were much beyond her income and that she had misused her position to acquire properties from government-run agencies at less than the market price. As chief minister, Jayalalitha’s take-home salary was a token one rupee.
@Marc,..The monetary racket was just the same,.only this time, all citizens will be excluded from any individual benefits !

Aha! The Max Necktie Code! Silver! Silver! Silver! Who needs spy words when you got neckties!
The Big Dog used to use the same method.
Meanwhile.. Brown. Compromised minion of a secret society based at Edinburgh where he got his edumacation. Think 100 year ban on discussing Dunblane massacre. Think Lord Robertson. Think boot on neck of compromised pol. SOP. Never put a man in office unless you gots his nuts in your pocket. Squeezable at any time.
@Max
Great show, I wish I had made the point. Paper ponzi’s all around..
The short squeeze should get lethal. As the bullion trader said, in these markets nobody takes any prisoners…I want it to happen asap, not becuase I want to get rich, but because these scammers enable so much watefull activity. Makes me wonder whether you believe Gold Money is safe from the LBM implosion…
as I’ve been trying to say to Max & Frank…no morals….no hazard. all of this is a metaphysical problem…not a “legal’….not a technological …not a financial problem. Metaphysics[or the lack thereof]….are the premise, the structure, the system…which all understand to be ROT.
Me thinks that the discussion of “original sin” has become more EVEN.
I like the Max on the street. Do more!

I think the history of England which left so many as landless peasants helps make it difficult for many to avoid becoming employees. We can’t all be ‘smart’ creating new business but many of us might make our living less tied to wages it we have a bit of land (like all that shit owned by the Windsors or none of the prohibitions against building which keep us off from moving onto the fields presently occupied by sheep). Anyway this class riddled society also has the middle class employing more of their own. Many of them do not work any harder but perhaps since way back they have held a place in the scheme of things and provided a cushion as apologists to the elites (like House N**g**), lawyers, doctors, teachers etc just ‘employees’ of the system, indoctrinated to believing in the status quo.
Maybe at some point with the rise of fiat currencies, the middle class grew to believe they could save and have pensions (not just servants). Just as now they argue they worked hard and should have this reward (a very popular concept on MSM at the moment). Yet the money supply was more ponzi scheme than actual growth based on capital investment and now those middle class are finding out they weren’t so smart after all. I simply don’t feel particularly sorry for them (in particular) and think they are mislead not recognising their less well off cousins as being in the same boat. They have been for so long in the thrall of the oligarchs they don’t know what to do now they are no longer being thrown a bone (or whatever sheep eat).
As to whether there is something that can be said to work at any one moment, it all depends who you ask on this planet, where and when? As to whether it was all that could work, who knows? I am not sure it has ever worked particularly well. This could be the worst of all possible worlds and all the parallel universes are laughing at us.
Probably true this world is one that is run by bullies. All I was thinking was the middle class have been led to believe there was a surplus of wealth that they could store away like grain. I just don’t think on this planet of finite land and resources, beyond a mediocre amount of value to be siphoned from capital investment, most of the things called ‘property’ are anything more than sophisticated legal constructs and even more so just total fictions. So to think about money in such a way that some Westerners thought they really could have savings was something that just to come to an end.
Next they will probably want their armies to take control of other nations.

It is such a bogus thing to have the Comex pretend to be the gold market price indicator. The price is soley set for optimal pump and dump activity.
I will start a bakery, selling bread tickets for people that want to forward buy their bread. They can trade those with people that want to translate their inflating currencies into something that is always of value. I administer the trades for a fee. If some show up for their bread I say they can have cash back or tickest for beef (the store my brother runs). Great business, no overhead except me and my printer.

Yes, I agree with Carmen. Let Max outside to do street interviews!

@Kitty,..thanks for your very thoughtful reply,..I agree with most of what you have to say.
As with any system that is given to us,.we surely have to either adapt to it or change it.
Personally, I’m not in the position to change something so organized and powerful,.and I’m sure you’re the same.
So I suggest we learn from the cockroaches and rats of the planet, adapt and prosper !,..
BTW: I said learn from the cockroaches and rats,..not become one : )
skiddypants and mother. I am a bit on the fence about the global warming debate but the argument in the video is a bit wooden. Perhaps there should be a vid showing LSD parts per million on a full stomach, then the lady dropping a tab.
Britons like the ancient aztecs exchanged their gold for little mirrors.

The length of my reply is more symptomatic of how much I am getting to think nothing I might have understood about economics has any firm basis to it. Certainly listening to this KeiserReport makes me look out my window and wonder how is it all going to end? Or where the particular paradigms of economics, once sold as ‘givens’ are going to morph. (no radical change expected!). Shifting sands and new myths. It all seems so fragile and everyone born with a axe to grind.
But for a quiet life most people walking past my window don’t want to rock the boat nor discover just how much BS they have been fed. Many were happy in the UK when they thought they were getting a great deal climbing on the housing ladder etc. Now many just keep quiet, perhaps hoping things will improve.
This year after visiting India (twice) I am more critical of ‘free’ markets. I just don’t know! When I get my next job and earn above the average, perhaps I will become a free market cheerleader.
Today I have a bit too much time on my hands.
They should sell Murder offsets, That way I could sell my promise not to kill to the US and they can spend those credits around the world.
What luck having Sam the eagle in London for you to interview.
Nobo has got eyes that look like two p1ss holes in the snow.
David Frum, upon being fired from a GOP think tank recently for making comments that were critical of GOP strategies, said the following:
Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us and now we’re discovering we work for Fox. And this balance here has been completely reversed. The thing that sustains a strong Fox network is the thing that undermines a strong Republican party.
Alex Jones helps neither the Republican nor Fox brands very much. Therefore, he will be attacked. His audience is too large for them not to attack him. Shutting down Alex Jones presents Faux News with a huge audience to potentially brainwash 24/7.
Oops, posted that on the wrong thread. Oh well.
Irish Bono profits from corruption.
Sonny Bono was assassinated for investigating corruption.

Aha! The Max Necktie Code! Silver! Silver! Silver! Who needs spy words when you got neckties!
lmao. At last the sinister Keiser Tie Code has been cracked.
@ kitty,
There’s a great deal in what you say, especially on conflicting class interests in the operation of (rigged) free markets, and the consequent reduction in social mobility.
I agree with what you say about the ideological collapse in the face of the Credit Crash. I’ve argued neo-liberals (from hardline Thatcherite’s to ‘New’ Labour) have effectively embraced financial corporatism through bailouts and Zero-interest rates for financial institutions and investors, at the expense of nationalising those debts to be extracted from general taxation (largely PAYE workers).
To me it seems as defining as ideological the collapse of the Soviet system of ‘democratic cetralism’ once they allowed the Berlin Wall to be torn down by the East German people. The ‘free’ market has been shamelessly rigged, as Stacy points out: To make Bill Clinton’s old campaign moto more accurate, ‘It’s the political economy stupid’. Political influence, through wealth and agitation on behalf of preferred classes combine to determine how economy will be rigged. Now more than ever.
One might imagine a utilitarian outcome, benefiting the broad base of working people to create a solid foundation for further development, but in practice the narrowest class interests have proven adept in selling lottery tickets (like property speculation) to people who dream of escaping the rat race, but never question the rules that make it so. Considering the mass transfer of the commonwealth to take ‘toxic’ debts out of private hands, that seems like mass cognitive-dissonance to me.
One of the few thinkers to see it coming put it rather well,
Of debt, deflation and rotten apples, By Henry C K Liu (Jan 11, 2006):
So now, with his earlier predictions of deflation to be fought with ZIRP/QE having come true, Liquidity drowns meaning of ‘inflation’, By Henry C K Liu (May 27, 2009):
Of course, being a political economy … the political consequences of the economic course that’s been set have yet to unfold. Who knows how reactionary or revolutionary the political consequences may be?
Max & Stacy you sparkled. Intelligent, insightful, and entertaining in equal measure.
The guest wasn’t half bad either.
Brown, Blairs fag (English public school boy use of word, and not the fudge stuffing variety), yuck unctuous creep.
As for Osborne he’d do/will do the exact same, fucking hypocrite.

Get a Grip Pal!
10 lines Max or your response is hidden!!
The word is getting out – your interview on Al Jazeera on the Greek debt crisis was discussed yesterday on prime time news on a major TV station by a prominent journalist.
On Tuesday night, on a variety current events satirical show (very popular among audiences between 25-45 years old0 they actually played the Al Jazeera interview and were supportive of your stance.
I am very upset about what is happening and I’m trying to think of ways to futher spread the word so that the Greek people wake up. Any ideas?
Take care
Helen
